It’s that time of year again!
While the kids are busy enjoying their summer, you’re already thinking about how to prepare them for going back to school this Fall. For hard-working families with low-incomes, this can be an especially stressful time.

Rollo’s Kids Foundation would like to lend a helping hand to the hard-working families of the Coastal Bend by providing backpacks and school supplies to families that qualify for our program. Depending on funding, vouchers for clothes and shoes may also be provided.

If you think you make too much for government assistance but too little to make ends meet, this is exactly the program for you!

We have extended our application submittal process for the 2nd Annual Rollo’s Back to School program, which will take place on Saturday, August 22, 2015. To be considered, please review the eligibility and application requirements on our application page.

Thanks to you, our supporters and community, Rollo’s Kids Foundation will bring a full Christmas meal and wrapped Christmas presents to 16 families and their 48 kids on Saturday, December 6, 2014.

We have so many people and organizations to thank for helping us to make this a reality:

Our partners throughout the year, The Texas Coastal Bend Bellydance Association and Donney Zumwalt, Norma Moreida and Emily Gallegos with Party Ventures Hall each hosted fundraisers on our behalf and given both their time and donations to our cause. We can’t thank you enough!

We would also like to thank The Rejects Car Club, Anthony Falcon of Falcon Tomahawk Airsoft Pro Shop, and Bill McDaniel with Phat Tats Tattoo Parlor for their fundraisers, toy drives, and food drives. These donations made all the difference in the world to us!

A special thanks to H-E-B for their giving of a substantial gift card to help us provide the makings for our Christmas meals.
